Born into privilege and growing up in the remote, high desert of the planet Valdi, Canar Nu Isso has graduated from the emissary program at the INSAT University. She aspires to follow in her father’s footsteps as an ambassador to civilized planets in new star systems. Just as she and her boyfriend, Reis Vartesarian are preparing a long-awaited month vacation to the resort planet of Coppratee, her father invites her to become the lead ambassador for a mission. It is an enviable assignment that will take her to a star system 1,500 light years away from her home, to a distant planet discovered by chance.
Canar learned in her studies that first contact between alien civilizations is filled with challenges, and her job as ambassador is to negotiate common grounds, sign treaties, and share knowledge with new civilizations. Little does she know that there are those who have malicious motives in this new system, and little does she know they will employ deception, intent on preventing her from making first contact with this new civilization. They will stop at nothing to disrupt the success of Canar's mission to further their unscrupulous ambitions. To the perpetrators, who include Canar’s best friend, all means to protect their interests are on the table, even murder.
